Question £1000 PC build.

[DylBKR]

Unsure if this is where to post a question like this but here we go.

I’m very new to pc building, and need some guidance, using videos and articles I have come up with this build, I intend to upgrade down the line but is this a good place to begin and is there any changes recommended.

CPU: Intel 13th Gen I5-13400f £210
Cooler: Deepcool AK400 £40
Motherboard: ASRock B660 Pro RS 1700 £140
RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair vengeance 3600mhz £40
Storage: WD_Blue SN570 1TB £53
Power Supply: EVGA W2 600W £80
GPU: RTX 3060 Eagle £343
Case: Undecided

It’s roughly £900 on Amazon but I believe with some searching I could further get the price down.

Home version of Windows is basically adware, at least in Pro you have some more control over stuff like the forced updates, etc . It's only like $20 more there's not much reason to not get it.

There are CMD commands that give Home versions the same exact access as Pro in windows.

I need help people. All parts arrived today everything went well until the GPU. It doesn’t fit into the PCIE 16, it’s seemingly too big is there any workaround or is it new motherboard time.

Unless either the the motherboard PCIe lane has a manufacturing defect, or the graphics card PCIe interface has a defect they should fit fine. It may also be the case that is making things difficult to slot the card in. They almost certainly have nothing wrong, just user error. Try looking at this video here.
